  1. DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION on my custom PC


    Hello Everyone


    Since I upgraded my PC to 9900k and ASUS z390-A with a fresh reinstalled system, the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BLUE SCREEN always happened when I was playing games, especially some games, for instance Shadow of Tomb Raid - sometimes, Age of Empire II Definitive - always.

    I tried all the common ways to fix it, update driver, bios setup, etc, but the error code still keep happening. Need some help.


    Here is the dump:

    Thanks!

    :)

    Hi,

    It is possible that the error DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION may occur if the iastor.sys driver is incompatible with Windows 10. To isolate your issue, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Have you made any recent changes before this issue occurred?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Any response will be highly appreciated.

  3. Blue screen: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

    After a recent updating, my machine has blue screen every 5 - 10 minutes.

    The error code is DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

    I saw another post here which suggest to use "iastor.sys". But I don't have that in the driver list. Mine is storahci.sys.

    Please advise! Thanks,
